It's inevitable that once you found a formula that works! Continue to use it.....Glow Entertainment found that formula of re-inventing the way we now see and expect in gospel concerts, it's not just about going and jump up and down, but having that expectation that God is going to do something great.
And as any functioning body there will be obstacles and challenges......So before I give you all the details/highlights of how wonderful the event was, I will give some of my observations as well as from some of my peeps on the ground about the Glow Fest Trinidad.
Being in Glow Fest Trinidad it was a wonderful experience for me personally, being a first timer to O2 Park. But my observation is not with the environment, but with people.
My team and I along with other media personnel were conducting interviews back stage and since there was two media team present beside numerous photographers, we were quite busy getting the job done. During that time one of the International gospel ministers along with their entourage came, now you see everything for the ministers were back stage, therefore naturally once the ministers are there, the media will want exclusive, plus fans will want to engage there favorite gospel minister.
But getting to the story where the international gospel minister with their team came in, next thing is that every body have to clear the back of the stage before they could exit the transport, I am like What!!!! What is the problem with them coming to meet the media and some fans?...... It wasn't that serious, but how the gospel minister's allege manager was carrying on is like oh he protecting his boss from groupies (again, it was allege)........Any whoo, news for you mister Trin-bago people don't run down christ-lebrities (a popular christian gospel minister), oh yes, I said it, we don't care too hoots if you black, white, or Indonesian, we pay our money for a good event, and yes we will want to take one or two pics but we ain't running down any artistes.......whooosaaah.
In-spite of all I know people had a wonderful time dancing their shoe heels off at Glow-Fest Trinidad..... Receiving excellent performances and ministry from the Compass Bang Bang break Out Artistes, Jamie Grace, Isaac Blackman, Blessed Messenger, Denise Plummer just to name a few.

Now I told you guys I have peeps on the ground.......Now..its alleged that , there were bands that were given for Glow, from a reggae concert and people were mad about that when they saw it, it had secular artiste faces were printed on it,I didn't even recognize it,...(cause normally, as regular concert goer I save my ticket stubs and hand bands.....also when I saw that the gate lady took the entire ticket I asked the question and she told me I can use the band, so i thought ok fine, without looking at the band cause of what the lady said......is when I was on my way home the next day someone was like u still have on that band and the conversation started, that it wasn't a Glow band, I was most upset about that.....my source expressed.
My source continued: The seating/section for VIP was horrid!! My view is that the promoter buss ah smart ting by splitting the sections vertically than the regular horizontal way, and trust me others agree, it's smart for business, but we got to remember it's not all about business, but what's right and comfort of the VIPs.... I think people in the secular arena, they would of "kick up" about that... If so much money is being spent, I think the least that can be done is for people to get their monies worth, cause the center of the stage plus attention was over at the general side and VIPs just got the few seconds of the artiste.... VIP to my finite understanding means "VERY IMPORTANT PERSONS" I could be wrong and stand to be corrected and I think they should be treated as such, not shoved in a corner.
I hope promoters are taking notes......wow
